buckling & bruising

is there something in your eyes
when your fingers work too fast
at unwinding my threads

a spindle
gathering my colors
so that you can misuse them
however you like

is there something in your touch
when it’s created by warm lies
lining skin to make a barrier

that holds reality back
that holds my love back

is there anything there
at all

or are you a fabricated idea
made of morning haze
and storybook clichés

locking me in a chokehold
